Axle seal

How hard and expensive is it to change out a rear axle seal. I cleaned my wheels today and noticed that they had oil on the inside of the center cap. Should I park it until I get it fixed or keep on keepin' on.

Its not that hard to change out the alxe flange gasket. Just remove the alxe bolts, pull the axle shaft out, remove the old gasket and install the new gasket, inspect the alxe flange bolts if serviceable you can reuse them just use loc-tite, if its not serviceable change them all out, and the last thing torque the bolts to 95 ftlbs.
